Draft One-Man Loader 




International rake loader 



International Rake Hay Loader 



The International i-ake hay loader is the ideal loader for the man with limited help. It was 
designed primarily t'oi- loading;- from the swatii, but will handle liu-ht windrows in a very satis- 
factoi-y manner. When one man is handling- this loader he can drive a short distance, allowing 
the hay to collect at the i-ear end of the wagon and then stop the team and distribute the hay 
evenly. By repeating this ()p(>ration it is a very simple matter for one man to ))ut on a load in 
fifteen or twenty minutes 



Operating Mechanism 



The operating mechanism of this loader is simple and durable, and is liigh enough from the 
ground to prevent the hay from wrapping about it. On ordinary loaders of this tyi>e a crooked 
crank shaft is used for operating the rake heads- On the International a decided improvement 
has been made in this respect. Two rock shafts, operated by sliding bars and cranks, are provided 
which eliminate the necessity for a crooked ciank shaft. These rock shafts are timed to operate 
the rake heads so as to gather all the ha,\- without the use of a high-speed driving mechanism. 
The danger of the mechanism getting out of line which exists with the crooked crank shafts, has 
also l)een overcome in the International by the use of the rock shafts. Another valual)le feature 
of this operating mechanism is that the power is applied at the upper end of the rake bars and is 
a pull, not a push. Because of this fact there is no danger of the rake bai-s on the International 
buckling or breaking when heavy hay is being handled.

Long Elliptical Strokes 



The ra,ke bars on the International loader move parallel to the jJiound during nearly one- 
half of the .stroke. On other loaders of thi.s t.vpe the .strokes are .short and chopp.v, and the 
motion must therefore be very rapid. The result is that the hay is badly thre.shed and the machine 
is subjected to a severe strain. On the International one end of the rake arm is attached to the 
rock shaft and the other end moves up and down in a bi-ackct on the lower end 
of the rake bar. This j)roduces the long, elliptical stroke. 

The Jake arm.-; are made of steel, and the lower ends, which move in the 
lirackets on the rake bars, ai-e fitted with roll(M-s which make them very smooth 
running. 

FlexiWe Ralc*» HeaHs 

The i-ake heads have a great deal of flexibility so that when they come in 
'contact with any obstruction in the field they will not be damaged. This also 
)revents them from digging ui) the ground. 

The teeth are made of oil-tempered steel and are of the triple coil tvpe.

' Wheels 




The loader is equipped with two ground wheels, one at 
cacii side iit the foot of the elevator. These wheels can be 
adjusted to different heights so that the rake hea^s may be 
kept at the proper distance from tiie ground. 



Drive Wheels 



Ground wheel adjusted for brinKins rakes 
close (o ground 



The drive whee's are of strong, steel construction and an 
])laced well under ihe loader so that the swinging motion common 
to many loaders is eliminated. 

This feature also permits the driver to get the loader close to 
fences and ditches, and i)ermits the machine to he taken through 
gates without difficulty. 



Frame Construction 



'I'hr frame is well i)ut togetlier and braced in such a manner 
that it is rigid, holding all the working parts in alignment, even in 
the roughest fields and when working with the heaviest hay. 



Drop Gate 

The drop gate has a wide range of adjustment, and can l)e raised 
or lowered to suit the various heights of the load with little difficulty.

Simple Mechanism 

In the cut on this page, note the simplicity of the mechanism which controls the stroke of the 
rake and the absence of the crooked crank shaft common to other loaders of the rake type. It 
will also be seen that the operating mechani.sm is placed well out of the way of the hay so that 
there is no danger of choking. 

Convenient Hitching Device 



It is not necessary for the driver to leave the top of the load to disconnect the International 
loader from the wagon. He simply pulls a rope which extends up to the top of the load from a 
lock on the hitching device. This leaves the loader standing in the field in an upright position 
and ready for the next wagon. The release lock is placed in such a position that it cannot become 
clogged with failing hav.
